Part 3:
________________________________________________________
The sun was hot as it beated down onto their faces and bare arms, Tyson, Max, Kai, Maria and Rei were only a bit tanned, but kenny on the other hand, he was redder than a fully ripe tomato!
They were all slowly walking along throught the park after their trip to the waterslides, Kenny didn't go down the bid one though.
"Wher are we going next?" Maria asked as she genlty tightened her grip on Rei's arm.
Kai took a glimpse over and gave her a little glare, slightly hoping that she never saw it. He turned his head back and looked around when Maria noticed him staring at her.
she tilted her head and stared at him in a cocky way for a moment, then she grabbed her stomach, "Ah! I'm hungry! You guys wanna pick something up to eat?" She asked.
Kenny was trying to keep up but he was too sore to move now from his burn, he heaved a sigh of pain every now and then as he dabbed on some lotion to suposedly 'soothe' the pain. It didn't seem like it was working at all, well, atleast not too fast anyways.
Tyson looked back at Rei and Maria and nodded, "Sounds great! But, before we eat, I have to go on that ride over there!" he pointed just a little ways ahead of him towards a rollercoaster, the biggest on in the park, it had a few loops, sharp turns, curves and everything else that could make you throw your guts up if you ate before you went on it, "I have to go on that before I eat! I don't feel like spoiling a great meal onto the person in front of me!" He joked and looked back at everyone else who all weren't quite sure what to say, they weren't sure whether or not they wanted to go on it.
"Hey man!" Max ran up behind Tyson and slapped him in the back in a friendly way, "I'll go one with ya! You can count on that!" He scraped his thumb across his nose and laughed.
Kai looked back at Rei.
"You gonna go on, Kai?" Rei asked leaving Maria's grip.
Kai nodded and turned the other way for a moment to hide his pinkish tint along his cheeks, he slightly smirked, "Maybe I can sit next to Rei!" He said to himself.
Tyson and Max wasted no time, they ran up to the coaster, of course, dragging Kenny along behind them. They were waiting patiently wait for the last round to end.
Kai slowly walked up to the coaster until Rei and Maria were just slightly ahead of him. He paused and wondered if he should ask Rei if he could sit next to him or not. He wasn't sure how to ask, he didn't want to make a fool of himself in front of Maria, what is she laughs right in his face? Kai shook it off and slowly made it up behind Rei and tapped his shoulder.
Rei turned around facing Kai, "Yeah?" He asked.
Maria turned around and blinked tilting her head to the side.
Kai was a little nervous now that Maria was looking at him, "Uh -- umm ..." He was stuck on words to say, he didn't know how to start.
"Wait for me guys!" A voice yelled out behind them.
Tyson Max and Kenny were too preoccupied by watching all the loops and turns that the coaster was doing. Kenny was feeling a little sick already, but Rei Maria and Kai turned around to see Li running up to them, he stopped and held his head down breathing heavily.
"Li!" Maria called out, "Where did you come from?" She asked stepping down the line standing beside Li.
He smiled up at her, "Wanna sit with me?" He asked.
Maria's eyes widened and turned towards Rei and then back to Li, "Uh ..." She began, "Sure!"
Kai turned his head back up to Rei, "Looks like we're sitting together!" He slightly blushed and smiled a rarely seen smile.
Rei returned the smile and nodded, "Guess we are!" He grabbed Kai's arm and walked up next to Tyson, Max and Kenny, "Is it almost here?" He asked.
Tyson turned and nodded, "Yup! There it is!" He pointed to the rollercoaster as it jolted to a hault, all the people began to walk off it, they seemed a little dizzy and some even a little sick, "Looks like that guy ate before he went on!" Tyson laughed seeing a guy run off towards the direction of the bathrooms, "Eww! Looks like he ate pizza!" All of them turned their heads away.
"Tickets please!" The man at the gate asked as he let them all go through, they all turned their attention to the man and one by one passed them the tickets.
Tyson, Max and Kenny fit into one, Maria and Li into another and last was Rei and Kai.
Rei sat in the seat and buckled himself in, Kai sat down next to him.
"Gah! damn buckles!" Kai struggled to get it in but it was too stubborn to buckle up!
Rei leaned over Kai, "Here! You gotta press this button first..." He pressed the button and placed the buckle into it, "There! See ... so simple!" He leaned back to see Kai's face a little pink, he paused and then turned his head the other way, he was a little pink himself now.
After everyone was all buckled in, they were off!
Kai looked over at Rei a few times noticing that he was looking back at him as well, did he feel the same? Kai was hoping and waiting for the answer to soon come.
